K-Planticola (Klebsiella planticola)
Has anyone heard of this? Supposedly there was a genetically modified bacteria that almost destroyed all life on Earth that was almost released, pending shipment and marketing, by EPA consent. Almost released that is, until researchers tested it on normal dirt. EPA testing was done using only sterile soil. Well, in normal dirty dirt, this bacteria that was supposed to only turn dead plant mater into alcohol, aggressively started working on the root systems of plants and killed them all off.Normal planticola bacteria has been found present in all root systems ever tested, it is nearly universal on Earth. So, yeah, the GMO version of the bacteria would have spread like wild fire around the world and within weeks, all plant life would have been dead.
But, really, is this story true??? I have only seen one mention of it.

A genetically mutated killer everything bacterium that almost destroyed the world that no one ever talks about?? Of course we’ve heard of it.. do you know where you are young man???? Go here and talk to this woman. http://www.soilfoodweb.com/
Here is the deal, not to sound pompus (when has that ever stopped me?) but I have never hard of this issue. Plus, when doing a bit of research, all I found was an obscure article from an iffy source. Are there no Main (lame fake news) stream articles on the Bacteria That Almost Destroyed Life on the planet? I wonder why that would be?
why are you looking for mainstream articles about something that could be used to destroy plant life on earth? Then dont worry at all about people like Gates making seed banks in Norway…or ISIS setting up store on top of the seed bank in Aleppo..
Sound pompous?? Moi?? (ready for the clickathon ; x ))
